What is the reason why the snowflake ice machine does not make ice continuously?

The snowflake ice machine is more suitable for experimental ice making!

Because the ice particles are finely divided and have high water content, the cooling speed is obvious, and it can penetrate into relatively narrow gaps;

In addition, it can make ice continuously for multiple sample "ice baths"!

But in daily life, especially the snowflake ice machine that has been used for a long time, sometimes it does not make ice continuously. Why is this?

There are 6 reasons why the snowflake ice machine does not make ice continuously. The specific situation and solutions are as follows:
Reason 1: The ice particles are too thin, because the ice particles are too thin, they all melt on the ice tray before they fall off;

Solution: Adjust the ice thickness probe or screw of the snowflake ice machine to make the ice particles a little thicker.

Reason 2: The ice tray is too dirty

Solution: Use acidic detergent to clean, and remove the scale and impurities on the ice tray.

Reason 3: The ice tray is desoldered, and the ice tray cannot be desoldered and cannot complete the action of "pushing out" the ice.

Solution: If the front side of the ice tray is desoldered, remove the desoldered one directly; if it is on the reverse side, it is recommended to replace the ice tray.

Reason 4: The metal and plastic components of the ice tray are cracked

Solution: Apply silica gel to the cracks in the ice tray of the ice machine to fill the gaps.

Reason 5: The amount of condensed water is large, and it is still draining when defrosting

Solution: Adjust the amount of condensed water output from the snowflake ice machine to make it smaller.

Reason 6: The defrost valve does not activate

Solution: Connect 220V to the defrost valve to see if it can start. If it can, eliminate the fault of the defrost valve and look for the abnormality of the computer board; otherwise, the defrost valve is faulty and needs to be replaced.
